Making a Chad/Sudan baggara rhythm in a tracker

If you're using a tracker or a step sequencer, you need to make your patterns have 12 rows (ticks) per beat. This shows a full pattern that contains 4 bars. The idea is that all instruments in your song must follow this rhythm.In other words, only put notes or drums on the positions used in track 1 or 2, and never on the rows that contain only "---" on both tracks.
